This challenge is about turning every day mundane objects, the things that you see and use everyday into extraordinary photos. Use light, angles, or contrast to create something visually interesting. Shot low, shoot high, shoot tight or rearrange the surroundings to benefit your subject(s). If you have a macro lens use it to your advantage. If you don't, use your lens to get the best depth of field to create a different perspective. Use lines, texutures and shadows. Some post processing can also be a benefit too. But most importantly, have fun with it and let your creative thoughts flow freely.
I found this challenge to be a bit challenging looking at items around my home with a different eye. But, I tried stepping out of my comfort zone and found I really enjoyed preparing it for you all. I hope you enjoy too.
I'll start with some of my kitchen items.

I know you will. You don't have much anything that's green around your area to work with, unless your snowshoes are green. LOL!
